Though you can give it , but yes that should not be the only intake of the child, as all family foods are also necessary for them
Prefer home made mixes such as dry fruit powder mix, fruit instead
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. PediaSure is generally formulated for children aged 2 years and older, so it can be safe to give it to your 2-year-old baby boy. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1. Balanced Diet First:
PediaSure should not replace regular meals. It is a supplement to help with growth and development if your child is not getting enough nutrients from food.
2. Check for Allergies:
Ensure that your child doesn't have any allergies or sensitivities to ingredients in PediaSure, such as milk, soy, or any additives.
3. Introduce Gradually:
Start with small amounts to see how your child tolerates it. Some children may have digestive issues like gas or bloating when starting new supplements.
4. Chocolate Flavor Consideration:
The chocolate flavor contains sugar, so ensure it doesn't lead to excessive sugar intake. You might also want to rotate between different flavors to prevent taste dependency.
5. Consult Your Pediatrician:
While PediaSure is generally safe for a 2-year-old, it's best to consult your pediatrician, especially if your baby has specific dietary needs or health concerns.
If your child is already eating a balanced diet, PediaSure may not be necessary, but it can help if your child is a picky eater or has growth concerns.
